Starbrite products are great.
1 Wash with black streak remover (spray)
2 Wash hull with hull cleaner (spray)
3 Wash upper with boat wash (gel)
4 Wax )-:
5 Wipe hull down immediately when removing from water with black streak remover
This has worked great for me. I do the hull cleaner once at the end of the season. It literally bleaches it white again. I spray it on and use a brush to move it around. You can see every drop (it turns white) that hit the hull moments after spraying and while brushing around it all blends to white. Watch out for the fumes, nasty! I have an aluminum trailer that hasn't been marked by this cleaner but I rinse thoroughly and often (38' boat).
If you don't use black streak remover first the hull cleaner floats the black off, it coagulates and resets, and wont come off until the next wash.
I used all sorts of cleaners and polishers on my old boat over the years trying to get the yellow off of the transom area to no avail, then I tried this stuff and it was effortless. I won't bother with anything else.

I have to agree on the FSR recommendation. Ive used this stuff for years and it really does a great job without damaging anything. Any yellow you have will disappear right in front of your eyes in 5-10 seconds...Just wipe it on--pretty amazing stuff.

slimmy grimmy works great and it is not an acid. comes in powder form and mix with water. I use a 1 gal. bug spayer and spray it on the bottom and rinse off. like I said its not an acid so it wont harm any other components on your boat.

I'm in the middle of an experiment with hull yellowing; I believe as someone earlier said that the older the hull gets the more porus the glass gets and the more yellowing will suck up into the glass. So, I've just finished wet sanding and buffing the the water line down to the chine. I'm hoping by sanding away the porus surface it won't yellow as badly. Just did it over the last two days, dunking the boat this weekend. I'll report back on the results. If it works to any degree then I'll decide if I want to lay on my back and wet sand the under side. That will be one sucky job!!!!
